As special projects manager my focus is on aligning key customer opportunities with C.H. Robinson's best-in-class people, service, and technology solutions.

As Director of Logistics I oversee all aspects of Highland Baking's supply chain. I negotiate freight rates, derive customer-facing freight rates for pricing models, oversee inventory management for both of our production facilities as well as third-party cold storage, and manage freight and warehouse vendor relationships for all locations.

As operations manager, I was responsible for managing cost-of-hire on TL capacity, pricing customer business for all the branch customers, handling compensation and performance reviews for ten employees, and assisting the sales and account management teams on customer calls and business reviews. From negotiating a transactional rate with an owner-operator to conducting business reviews with high-level customer contacts, I learned all aspects of the logistics business from the ground up.

I negotiated and scheduled advertising time for small business clients on four local radio stations in the Chicago suburbs. I also wrote ad copy, performed voice work for commercials, and co-hosted a popular monthly Saturday morning radio auction program on-air.
